Isn't she lovely? I made a bit of an assembly mistake with this card when I was sewing the pieces together. I had meant to put the green at the top and the orange on the bottom to give more contrast to her hat, but when I sewing the music strip on, I totally forgot and sewed it upside down. Ah well...

The papers are a mixture from October Afternoon, Crate Paper and Echo Park I think. The big flower is by Prima and the other embellishments are from Making Memories. The sentiment tag is from Maya Road and the sentiment is from Amy R Summer Sentiments. The lace is from The Ribbon Girl.

Top Tips
When using your sewing machine to sew stitching on cards:
- never sew through double sided tape as it will make your needle sticky and cause it to drag and snap (I've broken a fair few needles) or move out of alignment
- you can start and finish in the same stitch hole by using the hand wheel on the last stitch and moving your card to position the needle directly over your starting hole
- if you sew around your cards, you don't need to use very much double sided tape. I use just one small piece to anchor my card before I sew

Have a lovely day! I'm off to do loads of housework and run some errands.

Nesting 101

We've created this blog for all the chickies that wake up a long, long way from 'home' every morning and wish they had someone to chirp to.

Sure, we're 'seizing the day' and 'making the most of the moment'! We're enjoying the experience and 'going with the flow', but we miss being able to 'visit' and 'share' like normal families and friends do.

So. This is our virtual visiting perch. You'll need to make your own cuppa, but you're ever so welcome to join us here.
